Taxpayer-Funded Union Time Transparency Act

HR 2297, the Taxpayer-Funded Union Time Transparency Act, requires federal agencies to publicly report detailed annual spending on union-related activities. Agencies must disclose the total cost of "official time" (when employees use work hours for union duties), including per-employee data on pay, benefits, hours worked, and costs for negotiations, grievances, and dispute resolution. It also mandates reporting on free or discounted agency property and real estate used by unions, along with related expenses. These reports, submitted to Congress and posted online by June 30 each year, directly affect all federal agencies and their employees covered by collective bargaining agreements. The bill aims to provide transparency into how taxpayer funds are used for union activities under existing labor laws.
